MLB: We called a meeting of our chapter leaders and are confident with the feedback we’ve gotten from them and members. If you do switch the opening series from the Phillies to the Braves we can guarantee a significant number of seats purchased. It won’t offset the entire swarm from Philadelphia, but it is sizable nonetheless.

You are on the Nationals now- you signed a contract with us several months ago, remember? I put copies of your contract in each of your jackets, and gave them also to Scott and Julia. I know it’s confusing, but please don’t tell people you don’t play here in public. I promise, you do.

I received your first draft of the upcoming 2011 season schedule, and for the most part it looks great. Unfortunately, though, feel obliged- both for my part and that of the entire organization- to voice my discontent with seeing that we have to open the season once more at home against the Phillies. Included on this email are our management, newest National Jayson Werth, and the local chapter of our fan club, as all noted parties are affected by this. Without getting too much into what happened last season at the 2010 opener- we all know the story- it is in bringing that up that I argue it unfair to subject our organization and its stakeholders to a repeat performance. It will start everything on a sour note, and frankly we are trying to turn over a new leaf.

Can you please invoke Clause B for this one? We'll take the Braves- I know that's not as attractive a draw but it's better than this alternative. Thank you.
